Storylines
Part 3 of 10 in Sequence 10: A Monster's Creed
Found in
- Kenway MansionThe Kenway Mansion is Edward Kenway's old London home on Queen Anne's Square, now owned by the Templars. Evie and Henry search it for the Shroud of Eden in Playing It by Ear, and Evie returns in 1888 during the Jack the Ripper expansion.
- WhitechapelWhitechapel is the first borough you liberate and the poorest in London, a district of slums and crime. Rexford Kaylock's Blighters hold it when the Fryes arrive in 1868, and in 1888 it becomes Jack the Ripper's hunting ground.
Good to know
- Memory 3 of Sequence 10, October 1888.
- Full sync: frighten 3 enemies, and hijack the carriage.
- Evie finds spikes and fear bombs by Jacob's door, tools the twins learned to use in India.
- A copy of the 'Dear Boss' letter lies in Jacob's room.
- A note hidden in a statuette of Kali points Evie to a woman named Nellie.
- Next memory: The Lady Talks.
- Jacob's note says the woman who can help will remind Evie of an old childhood neighbour, which is how Evie realises she is looking for a Nellie.
Jacob's lodgings
Search the room for signs: weapons by the door, blood on the floor, the Ripper letter and a photograph of Evie, Jacob and Henry in India fifteen years earlier, beside the boys Jacob brought to train. The clue you need is a Kali statuette Evie once gave Jacob, with a note inside.
First fear tools
Leaving the lodgings, you overhear Rooks waiting to ambush Evie on 'Mr. Jack's' orders. This is where you first use a fear bomb, and the full sync asks you to frighten three enemies.
Finding Nellie
At the nearest brothel, ask the women about Nellie until one admits she has been taken to Lady O by hired thugs. Follow their trail to the Kenway Mansion, sneak in and reach Nellie while Lady Owers gives a speech about rescuing fallen women.
The carriage chase
Owers spots Evie and leaves, and a carriage tears away. Chase and hijack it for full sync.
The decoySpoilerShow
The carriage holds Nellie, not Owers, who used her as bait and fled to Owers Manor. Nellie explains that Lady O is the Ripper's eyes and ears in London and that Jacob said Evie must kill her to find him.
